Chapter 193 Conspiracy and Conspiracy

One hundred million!

This figure shocked everyone present. In this era, what is the concept of 100 million? The US GDP last year was only more than 200 billion US dollars, and this investment alone reached one-thousandth of the US GDP.

In this era, one million is already a rich man.

Hardy actually proposed a 100 million yuan investment plan, how can it not be shocking.

In fact, Hardy proposed this ‘100 million’ plan with several levels of thought.

This one hundred million is not a simple casino, but a casino amusement complex, including casinos, hotels, even villas, resorts, and various entertainment facilities.

also includes auxiliary facilities, such as increasing direct flights to Las Vegas, his hospital plan, and even university plans are also included in this project.

Hospitals and universities require a lot of investment, so Hardy won’t be foolish to take the money by himself, divide the expenses out, and he can manage it.

Besides.

Investment is large, and those who want to play with him have to take out most of their family assets, and these people will be firmly bound to this chariot.

Create a new circle.

One more thing is to set a high threshold here. If anyone wants to enter Las Vegas in the future, if it can’t match the scale of the new hotel, then don’t come because you can’t make money.

The opening ceremony was over. After these casino stewards left, they immediately called to report to their family owners. This was a big deal.

Emilio Basini, the patriarch of the Basini family of the five major gangs in New York, frowned and fell into thought after hearing the report from his subordinates.

In fact, he has been paying more attention to Hardy's movements.

He regards the Corleone family as an opponent, and Hardy is a friend of the Corleone family. The territory and power he receives are also Siegel’s original power.

In his heart, he has already regarded Hardy as his opponent.

Hadi Hotel opened, the business is booming, it can be described as a daily gain. According to his reports, the daily casino revenue is about 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars, which can reach 10 million yuan throughout the year.

This is not the so-called "2-hour lottery draw" activity. It is said that the lottery activity earns more than the casino's operating income every day, and this income may reach 20 million.

There is also news that the so-called proxy investment company is Hardy’s subordinate, and Bill of Los Angeles has made it. Now it has absorbed more than tens of millions of dollars.

Every item of income makes Basini look jealous.

And the more Hardy earns, the angrier he gets.

Why?

Because without this Hardy, Flamingo Casino, which is now Hardy Hotel, should have belonged to them.

The conflict between their four major families and the Corleone family, the reason Corleone was able to finally keep it, was not destroyed by them, a large part of the reason is because of this Hardy.

Afterwards, he learned that when the old Vito was assassinated, Hardy had personally brought people to New York to solve the crisis of the Corleone family. Basini suspected that the restaurant bombing was also done by Hardy.

Later in the chaos of the conflict, while dealing with the Corleone family, they conspired to kill Siegel at the same time, trying to take advantage of the chaos to **** the property, but in the end Hardy got the biggest advantage.

Raymond’s people and the Los Angeles Irish North Shore Gang were killed by this guy in one fell swoop, allowing him to take the opportunity to unify Los Angeles and become the largest underground power in Los Angeles.

Flamingo Casino was also robbed by him.

Think of flamingo.

Originally, he still had a 13% stake in Flamingo, but in the end he used these shares for the Corleone family to agree to support the drug trade.

Oh shit,

Now counting, he has lost a lot of this business.

is not a betting company, just say that Hardy Hotel’s annual revenue can see a profit of 30 million.

He has 13% of the shares, and that year was 4 million in income.

The current drug business operated by the Basini family has a net income of only two or three million a year, and a lot of hard work has to be done, which is always in fear.

Corleone’s house,

Obtained 39% of the shares of three casinos, now doing nothing, can get more than 10 million in income a year.

And still legal income.

You must know that legal income is much more valuable than gang income. Black money business needs to be laundered and part of it needs to be removed. As long as there is a problem with the business, the income will stop, and the casino income can continue to be profitable.

Even if there is a problem in the family, this income can exist.

Thinking of this, Basini went crazy with jealousy.

I had planned for so long at the beginning, and played a big game of chess, forcing the Corleone family to bow their heads, but in the end, they gave the fattest lamb to others, and only picked up a bone to chew.

certainly.

Basini would not think that the reason why Hardy Hotel is so profitable is that it is well run by others. Hardy has put in hard work, hard work and wisdom.

Sometimes the same casino is placed there, and it may not be successful if it is operated by another person.

As for this time Hardy invited the Mafia family to jointly invest in the new casino, the old fox Basini smelled a trace of conspiracy.

If these people become business partners with Hardy, then the intensity of their own speech will be much reduced in the future.

he knows,

These mafia families,

The first priority is to make money. As long as they have money to make money, they are willing to do anything, but if someone stops them from making money, they will immediately become hungry wolves from allies.

When they attacked the Corleone family together, these small families played the role of hounds. Although they didn’t do anything directly, cheering on the side would also play a big role. Basini was able to drive them because of the drug business. This benefit.

Now Hardy throws a piece of fat.

Those greedy and mindless **** will inevitably be hooked.

Once they become partners and they want to kill Hardy in the future, they will definitely not be able to do so, and their right to speak in the Mafia committee will be greatly weakened.

no.

He must be stopped!

Basini picked up the phone, called Philip, the head of the Tatakilia family, and told him the stakes in it.

"I will definitely not invest in that Hardy's property. I heard that Hardy Hotel can easily earn 20-30 million a year. If we didn't give the Flamingo shares to Corleone, we could also easily make a big profit. Money." Philip said.

Bassini heard a slight complaint in Philip’s words, but he initially advocated agreeing to exchange shares for Corleone’s forces to support the drug business.

"Shall we just watch Hardy make a lot of money in Las Vegas?" Philip said.

"I have an idea. Let's win some people and invest in building a big casino in Las Vegas, so we can still make money." Basini said.

Philip became interested when he heard it.

"This is a good idea, but I'm afraid it will require a lot of investment."

"Then find more people."

Put down the phone and Basini called Kolob, the head of the Strache family. The two exchanged for half an hour, and Kolob also agreed to build a new casino.

These three companies are the three companies that originally bought the shares of Flamingo Casino. On weekdays, Basini has the closest relationship with them, forming an alliance of interests.

Finally, Basini called the Cuneo family patriarch, Tirio Cuneo, and after talking to the other party about his thoughts, Cuneo said: "I heard the casino manager report on this matter, I don’t know if you watched it. Have you ever been to Las Vegas TV?"

"I have seen it." Basini said.

He also watched Las Vegas TV because of curiosity and attention to the manual direction.

"I think the success of Hardy Casino is largely due to the promotion of the Las Vegas TV station, as well as the lottery. If there is no TV station, even opening a casino will not succeed."

Basini frowned when he heard it.

Think about it as if this is true. The success of Hardy Casino is mainly attributed to the TV station, and the casino is only one aspect.

Without the support of TV stations, the new casino will definitely not develop. It is possible that this investment will lose money.

But Hardy can succeed, because he now runs the largest ABC TV station in the United States, and other people can't get a nationwide TV station casually.

certainly,

Cooperating with two other TV stations, forcibly inserting into Las Vegas and grabbing Hardy’s business.

But in that case, it is equivalent to tearing the skin directly.

Hadi is not a modest gentleman or a cowardly man. It is estimated that your TV station will be built on the first day, and there will be an explosion on the second day, and even the building will collapse for you.

They really can't do Hardy if they come hard.

The Los Angeles gang is controlled by him and is stronger than any single family of the five big families.

HD security has expanded wildly this year, and now the number has reached a terrifying 2500 people, these people are equivalent to Hardy’s private army, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Las Vegas are all within HD security’s sphere of influence.

New York has also opened an HD security branch. Now it is not large, with only more than 200 people. It undertakes the business of several banks. When Basini went out by car, he also saw an **** vehicle marked with HD security.

But he can send more troops to New York at any time.

After thinking about it for a while, Basini found that even if they invest in the construction of a new casino, they may not be successful.

If you want to make money in Las Vegas, you can only cooperate with Hardy.

This feeling makes Basini very uncomfortable.

Basini said angrily: "Cuneo, this is not a question of making money. If the Mafia family invests in Hardy’s new casino, do you think about other families going to deal with him in the future? Don’t forget Hardy’s death. Corleone's ally."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, and Cuneo said: "I'll think about it, let's stop here."

Hanging up the phone, Cuneo squinted his eyes to look at a painting on the wall. This is a famous painting by French painter Theodor Gudin in 1827. It tells about the coming of the tsunami and the sailing boat in the stormy waves. Overturned, people fled from the sailing boats and boarded lifeboats to escape. The waves were raging, and people were struggling in the storm.

He and the Corleone family did not have any grudges. Before, they united three companies to attack the Corleone family for the drug business and for the benefit.

Since Basini can't give him any benefits now, and in Las Vegas, there is a large amount of benefits beckoning him, it is not difficult for Cuneo to choose who to choose.

He thought for a while and wanted to pick up the phone and call the old godfather Vito Corleone.

"Vito, this is Cuneo." Cuneo said hello with a smile.

"I heard Cuneo. You haven't called me for a long time. You used to invite me to have a drink." The old godfather smiled.

"Do you have time this weekend, let's go to my country manor for a hunting outing." Cuneo invited.

"Okay, it's been a long time since I went out." The old godfather agreed.

"Vito, I heard that Hardy in Las Vegas wants to build a new large casino with an investment of 100 million. Do you have any ideas for the Corleone family and are you ready to invest?" Cuneo asked the question.

The old godfather smiled, "Of course I will invest. I believe this will be a profitable business. Since I know why I don’t invest in making money, you know that I have shares in the Hadi Hotel, and now I can bring tens of millions of dollars to me every year. Legitimate income."

The old godfather deliberately increased his tone when he said the word ‘legal’.

Know that legal income and illegal income are very different, especially in a country with very strict financial supervision.

"How much are you going to invest?" Cuneo asked.

"It depends on what Hardy means. I definitely want to invest more money. I am afraid that Hardy is unwilling. You have to know that this business may involve a dozen or even dozens of shareholders. If you have too many shares, others will not have it. Now." The old godfather said.

One billion investment.

It’s not that many of these families can put out 10 million. Even if they can put out 5 million, it’s not too bad, which only accounts for 5% of the shares.

Cuneo paused and said, "Vito, Basini called me just now," and then Cuneo told the old godfather what Basini had said to him.

"Acountrydoesnothavepermanentfriends, onlypermanentinterests."

No permanent friends, only permanent interests.

This is a famous quote by the British Prime Minister Palmerston in the nineteenth century, and it is also the foundation of British diplomacy.
